Because I Wrote For You.

I love your voice, your hair, your eyes. I love how you're always around, and the way you always know what to say. I love how you're so real, and you don't always make sense. I love that you say what's on your mind. I love that you aren't afraid to feel. I love how you listen, and you remember what I say. I love how you don't walk away, I love when you ask me to stay. I love how nothing bothers you. I love how you never give up. I love how you're not perfect, but I love how hard you try.

I hate the way we're just friends, I hate that you're so hard on yourself. I hate your ex-girlfriend. I hate it when you’re upset. I hate it when you lie. I hate when you get mad, and when you say you aren't. I hate when people hurt you, I hate having to say no. I hate that you keep changing your mind.
